Elizabeth Peratrovich (Google Doodle)
Google s Doogle often offers a sweet spot to pay tribute to the illustrious life of famous personalities and celebrities.

On this day in 1941, after encountering an inn door sign that read “No Natives Allowed”, Peratrovich and her husband – both of Alaska’s Indigenous Tlingit tribe helped plant the seed for the anti-discrimination law when they wrote a letter to Alaska’s governor and gained his support.

George Washington and his Continental Army forces crossed the
Delaware River to stage a surprise attack on British-aligned
Hessian soldiers, the
2021 Washington quarter. It features a design that honors Washington’s historic yet often mythologized 300-yard voyage.
Given that we are fast approaching the end of the year, I would not be surprised to find out that the new design was already in production.
Assuming my math is correct, this will be the 114th reverse that has been married to some version of
John Flanagan’s Washington quarter obverse. The
Heraldic Eagle, the Washington quarter’s original backside, appeared uninterrupted from 1932 to 1974.
